  • Posted by William (Sweden) on Jan 18, 2020 4:18 AM concerning plant:
    'Hakkun' is very easy to grow in my garden. It's tough and healthy and does not need to be lifted for summer.
    The bulbs do not break down into many small non-flowering sized ones easily, so it can remain in the same spot, without dividing for several years.

    Unfortunately in my experience it blooms for a shorter time than most tulips.
    It is very sensitive to heat, which makes the flowers shrivel, especially in full sun, even in my northern garden.
    For that reason I think it is best suited for a place in semi-shade, unless you are fortunate enough to have it bloom while the temperatures are still low.
